Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 423: Anonymous Gift

The Andersons have won the lottery again during the Christmas holidays, taking the windfall and enjoying a French meal at an upscale restaurant.

Heb is used to Albert's practice of using the British National Lottery pounds for family meals, which are not many anyway, and it is certainly a pleasure to enjoy food in a fancy restaurant .

In order to cover up this incident, Herb and Daisy spend a little money to buy a few national lottery tickets every month, otherwise they will win the lottery every time, and it will be suspicious no matter how they look.

The day before school starts, Albert goes to King's Cross to take the Hogwarts Express and return to school with the rest of the students.

In the carriage, Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain about Snape's Christmas present to Albert.

Albert had seen the parchment in the package Snape sent, and it was indeed a potion formula.

The jar of cockroaches in the package is also real. It is estimated that it was farmed. It needs special treatment before use. There are treated drugs in pharmacies, and there are other potions. They are not precious, but they are all potions. The raw materials that will be used in the formula, together with several common medicinal materials, can make a kind of medicine called nagging soup, which will make people talk nonsense uncontrollably.

Merlin's beard!

Anyone who knew that Nag Soup was made of these things would never have dared to touch it.

To be honest, Albert was so impressed with Snape's expertise in potions that he could actually find such a potion formula. It makes perfect sense for a potions professor to give his favorite protégé a potions-related Christmas present.

Is Albert Snape's favorite protégé?

In a way, it does.

Also, the recipe for the nagging soup was improved by Snape himself, so it was a rather precious gift.

Albert, however, reckons Snape's Eighth Achievement was trying to surprise himself.

After listening to Albert's analysis, Lee Jordan expressed disapproval of Snape's bad taste, and said simply that if Albert dared to give him such a disgusting drink one day, the two sides would Break up.

Especially after reading the recipe for the nagging soup on the parchment, Lee Jordan said that his weak mind was severely hit, and that he needed Albert's holiday homework to be overwhelmed and prepared to copy it...for reference.

Hogwarts professors like to give them a lot of homework during the holidays, which is especially annoying.

Lee Jordan tried so hard to do his holiday homework yesterday and still couldn't finish all his holiday homework, so he had to find an excuse to ask Albert for help.

After consultation, Albert finally agreed to use the paper on the shrinking potion for Lee Jordan to learn from.

No way, since the snowman incident, the life of three of Albert's friends has been getting worse and worse. Snape really can't trouble Albert, but occasionally finds Fred, George and Lee Jordan's troubles are okay. Snape didn't even need to do anything special, as long as he had time to pay more attention to the three of them, it was enough for them to be unlucky.

Lee Jordan would be out of luck if he didn't do his holiday homework, and Snape was desperate for an excuse to get them into trouble right now.

"I bet Fred and George are not finished either." With Albert's help, Lee Jordan began to brew his own thesis on the shrinking potion.

Actually, Lee Jordan got it right, the Weasley twins are mostly out of their studies, they're trying to focus on joke props.

After the two returned to Hogwarts Castle in the night carriage, Fred and George came out to welcome them without warning, and gave them a few pieces of candy enthusiastically. By the way, they wanted to appreciate AI Bert's vacation homework.

"Did you guys make something weird again?"

Lee Jordan looked at the candies vigilantly and didn't intend to touch them. He didn't forget how he was tricked by these two guys.

"Candy made from heartworm syrup that makes you feel sad when you put it in your mouth."

Seeing that neither of them were going to try, George unwrapped the candy and threw it into his mouth.

Sad Candy works very well, and after a while, the smile on George's face disappears, showing a sentimental expression, and even begins to sob in a low voice, soon to cry.

Lee Jordan was stunned by the astonishing change in George's face, and he never thought that Sad Candy would work so well.

"We put a huge dose of heartworm syrup in it." George sadly explained to them that it was a total loss.

"Maybe, we can produce small amounts of sad candy, but never expect mass production, which will drain every Galleon from our pockets."

"It's really sad." Albert smiled and patted George on the shoulder, the candy's effect was much stronger than he expected.

"Well, that's about it."

Fred tried to hold back his laughter and handed a candy to George. After the latter finished eating, the sadness on his face was immediately replaced by a smile that looked a bit silly~IndoMTL .com~ The antidote is almost there, but the effect of the drug effect cannot be completely eliminated. "

Fred pointed to the smirk on George's face and explained reluctantly, "That's the after-effects caused by Aliott's leaves. Of course, it won't take long, um, about ten seconds or so, this faint The sequelae will disappear completely."

"Nice start!" Albert comforted the two of them, and then changed the topic of chatting: "Did you open the package that didn't write the sender?"

Fred and George looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "We think this kind of interesting thing should be kept and shared with everyone, so we temporarily left the unnamed package and waited for you. Let’s start together after returning to school.”

"Then open it now, I'm also a little curious as to which guy sent me a Christmas present anonymously." Albert muttered softly, "I don't think there's anything good in it."

"We tested it with the honesty detector, and there was no curse reaction, but..." Fred hesitated, but reminded, "I think it's better to be careful when opening the package." /

No way, with Snape's case first, who knows what's in the package.

They took the package to the common room, and since no one wanted to open the package, Albert had to use a spell to open it from a distance.

Under the eyes of the public, a yellow-green liquid suddenly sprayed out from the package the moment the package was opened, like a grenade exploding, the liquid splashed everywhere, and a pungent gasoline smell instantly filled the entire lounge.

"Fortunately, I was far enough away that I almost got hit. It's so sinister!" Fred cursed in a low voice, and was almost splashed by an unknown liquid just now.
